Cavaliers trade: Zydrunas Ilgasuskas, J.J. Hickson, Wally Szczerbiak (S&T at $8.67M)
Cavaliers receive: Antawn Jamison, Ben Gordon

- The salary burden is humongous, but would you bet against LeBron James keeping his same team in tact while adding a much-ballyhooed 'Stretch 4' along with a pure scorer.

Nate will also be a change of momentum guy, he can score in bunches

According to multiple sources, the Celtics [team stats] and Knicks are close to a deal that would bring guard Nate Robinson to the Celts, possibly in exchange for Eddie House.

The framework of the deal involves sending McGrady to New York for forward Jared Jeffries, guard Larry Hughes and forward Jordan Hill. The Knicks and Rockets have agreed to swap 2011 first round picks and the Knicks will send the Rockets their first round pick in 2012.

The only outstanding issues involve protection for the draft picks.

The deal could be completed as early as tomorrow.

League sources said the Bulls have offered Brad Miller, Tyrus Thomas and either Kirk Hinrich or John Salmons to the Rockets for McGrady, who has been granted a leave and is training in Chicago.

Lakers probably won't be trading players
Deal with Bulls for Kirk Hinrich seems unlikely as trade deadline approaches.

It's the busiest week of the regular season, the cellphone-minute-burning, deal-making period from the All-Star game to the trade deadline.

The Lakers have been making and taking calls, but they're still not expected to be big players before the Thursday noon deadline.

The Lakers and Chicago Bulls are at a stalemate in talks for reserve guard Kirk Hinrich. The Bulls want to part with Hinrich's contract (two more seasons after this for a total of $17 million), but they will take back only expiring contracts. The Lakers, definitely conscious of how far they are over the luxury tax, have an expiring contract of note in Adam Morrison ($5.3 million) but they want the Bulls to also take Sasha Vujacic, who has one more season at $5.5 million.

The Bulls have turned their attention to other teams, leaving only a small chance of a trade with the Lakers. Hinrich, 29, was averaging 10.2 points and 4.4 assists coming into Tuesday.

Meanwhile, the Lakers are well aware of what Dallas has done and what Cleveland might be doing with its roster. The Cavaliers have been rumored to acquire one of several power forwards: Indiana's Troy Murphy, Washington's Antawn Jamison or Phoenix All-Star Amare Stoudemire.

"We pay attention to it," Lakers Coach Phil Jackson said. "If Stoudemire gets traded, that's going to affect us."

As in, Cleveland will be tough to catch for the league's best regular-season record.
